Good points and good catch. I won't support Newegg just about ever anymore after all the stuff they pulled.
What did Newegg do ?

1. That would involve purchasing from a pile of garbage like NewEgg (same company who willfully provided customer data to tax authorities when they didn't have to, for starters).


2. It's not sold by NewEgg. It's "Sold and shipped by: Great Gamer". Not NewEgg.
That tax move cost me over $20k out of pocket in back taxes for purchases that I made via expense reports at a long gone job. #neverforget

I do love Isobar strips. Just nothing else built like them out there.

Definitely an example of "buy once, cry once". I think one of mine is easily 20+ years old.

I bought an Isobar for my expensive washer and gas dryer. I don't trust much else to handle the load.

HOLY sh*t. I always thought about it from the individual consumer / small purchase point of view. What @@sholes, unbelievable. $20K, disgusting. I haven't bought from them in many years, and I do my duty to thumbs-down every NewEgg post I see. I'm just being honest. "Poor merchant reputation". The worst part was that I'm pretty sure they DIDN'T HAVE TO divulge the info, they just did so voluntarily. And with zero disclosure to customers. WTF. I should add articles related to that debacle in my signature maybe. So that people might learn about NewEgg and make their own decision not to support these disgusting people.

To be clear: I have NO problem paying the taxes I owe. I mean sure I have a "problem" with it (like most people probably do), but I understand the principle and I'm fine with paying the taxes I"m REQUIRED to. I'm NOT fine with some piece of ***t company like NewEgg voluntarily handing over purchase data to government agencies without even putting up a fight, and without even notifying customers that they've done so. Disgraceful.


In early 2018, customers in the state of Connecticut were notified that Newegg had not collected state sales tax due on out-of-state purchases in the past three years. Newegg was given a choice of collecting such tax in the future or turning over customer information to the state's Department of Revenue Services, which would require customers to file a sales tax form for the past three years of purchases. Newegg chose to furnish the customer information;[40] [wikipedia.org] as Newegg did not have a physical presence in Connecticut, Newegg believed it did not need to collect state sales tax from the ruling in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota [wikipedia.org]. Connecticut's Department of Revenue Services later issued tax bills to these customers.

Some of these make a loud annoying HUM.
I had one blow in 2014 and they replaced it easily. It saved equipment. As did some Belkin surge protectors.

Ignorant question...is that good or bad?
That's impossible. Clamping voltage cannot be below amplitude voltage, which is about 170V.
But whatever, it is UL certified, so who cares?

I've seen several mentions in this thread that this surge protector clamps at 140 volts. Is there any concern that such a low clamping voltage could lead to MOV exhaustion from relatively common low-voltage surges, leaving equipment unprotected from less frequent but more damaging high-voltage surges? There must be a reason why nearly all other surge protectors use higher clamping voltages.

Quote from Eagles89 :
Can't believe people are paying $58 for a surge protector. This is why we have inflation
People are paying much more than $60.
This is Mercedes-Benz of power strips. Nobody was fired for buying IBM, nobody is for buying Tripp Lite.

It's always amazing to me that people will plug thousands of dollars of equipment into a $25 surge protector. You get what you pay for e.g. low clamping voltage, effective EMI/RFI (most important with audio equipment), long life etc.

Eaton/Tripplite and Furman are both excellent choices

Ignorant & wanting to understand, what makes this so much better than 1 at, say, 1/3 to 1/2 the cost?

Sorry for all of the quotes, but I figured you'd all be interested. I'm not convinced that the clamping voltage is 140V... According to the PDF from Tripp Lite, it's 330V... Confused which may be just fine given the response time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


https://assets.tripplite.com/product-pdfs/en/isobar6ultra.pdf [tripplite.com]


"UL1449 Let Through Rating 330V"


"AC Suppression Joule Rating 3330"


"AC Suppression Response Time NM = 0 ns. CM = <1 ns"



Thought I'd add this:"From the Wirecutter: The best surge protector for your home electronics"

Shame it's from 2016, but was still an interesting read.

Not even the Mercedes-Benz is 6x the price of a Nissan Versa.

LOL you sure about that ;-)? Versa ~$15,000 base. CLA 250 ~$40,000 base. ~2.66x. Outside of the US, the A-Class starts in the low ~$30,000's.


Granted, the CLA is a piece of crap Mercedes LOL.
